Title: Preparation and use of polymers crosslinked with tyrosine-containing peptides
Inventor: TILLEY KATHERINE
IPC: A21D10/00
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: It has been discovered that the formation of tyrosine bonds (and especially dityrosine bonds) has a fundamental and heretofore unrecognized effect upon wheat, wheat flour, wheat doughs and wheat-based end products, i.e., the level of such tyrosine bonds profoundly effects wheat dough properties and product quality. This insight allows effective genetic manipulation of wheat and other grains in order to control tyrosine bond levels in the grain protein, and also leads to methods for monitoring and/or altering tyrosine bond levels during plant growth, flour manufacture and dough formation and processing. In addition, novel polymeric structures made up of polymers (either biopolymers such as proteins or synthetic polymers) can be developed wherein the polymers are crosslinked using tyrosine-containing peptides. The bond-forming peptides typically contain a peptide-bonded tyrosine pair (YY).

Title: Intelligent valve positioner tuning
Inventor: HANSEN PETER DANIEL
IPC: G05B19/19
Filed: 2000-09-06
Abstract: A valve position controller tuning method avoids impact of friction in valve positioner tuning by building a dynamic model of a valve positioner from a monotonic open-loop response of a valve stem position to a change in valve position controller output. To this end, a model form is selected based on the type of pneumatic actuator and relay that controls valve flow modulating of member motion, and the valve position controller is operated in an open-lop mode. The method includes changing a valve position controller output signal to cause the valve positioner to move a valve flow modulating member, connected to valve positioner, monotonically from one stuck position to another stuck position immediately after a motion in that same direction. When a valve stem position reaches a position threshold, a first valve stem position change and a corresponding time change are measured. The method includes measuring valve stem position changes at times that depend on the first measured time change. Using the measured results, valve positioner response parameters are calculated for the selected model form from which valve position controller tuning constants are calculated.

Abstract: En raison des catastrophes aériennes qui ont eu lieu le 11 septembre 2001, nous avons étudié la possibilité de trouver une solution pour augmente r la sécurité à bord des avions. Nous voulons rendre le cockpit pratiquement "hermétique" aux intrus c'est-à-dire empêcher l'accès aux cabines de pilotage et ainsi diminuer les probabilités de détournements d'avions. La solution trouvée est facilement adaptable pour tous les modèles d'avions. Il s'agit d'un système à doubles portes: la première sépare le cockpit et l'aire où on prépare les repas; la seconde sépare l'air e des repas au reste de l'avion. Dans la fabrication de la porte, la fibre de verre est substituée par le Kevlar, rendant la porte à l'épreuve des balles, c'est-à- dire blindée. Les serrures sont renforcées par un système électrique appelé "Fail Safe", et la première port e ne s'ouvre que de l'intérieur de la cabine de pilotage. La structure de l'encadrement d e même que le mur encadrant la porte sont aussi renforcés par le Kevlar, donc deviennen t blindés. Un système d'interphone est intégré afin que les pilotes puissent communique r avec les agents de bord. Il y a une possibilité d'installer une seule porte au lieu d e deux advenant des contraintes de poids selon le type d'appareil. Cette unique por te sépare la cabine de pilotage avecle reste de l'avion.

Filed: 2002-08-01
Abstract: A system and method of generating an ordered search list via a search engine by determining various account balances to determine where a search listing will appear, if at all, in a search results list. If a web site advertiser's account is below a threshold, the search listing associated with the advertiser will not appear in the search list. Various balances may be used. Some of the balances may be closer to real-time balances and others may be more accurate, for example by removing certain event charges that were later determined to be non-chargeable. By using and monitoring the various account balances, the search engine prevents over-delivery of advertising through search result listings and possible over-billing of the advertisers.
